Donation Rewards

[Volga]

How about additional shared bank slots? Would make moving those CB/Derv belts quicker =) While not being game altering.

I donate to the server reguarly, but I am against Donation rewards of anything in game period. If you want to give something to people on the forums, then I'm all for it, but i think it should end there.

I like the idea for a title in game... maybe Donor? as the title?

My suggestion for donations, is to leave them just that, a fucking donation you dumbasses. You get to play a game you love, that will not be revived in a P1999 form by SOE or "the other project" EVER.

You already are being rewarded.

What, because its not a reward specifically directed towards YOU individually, you want to feel special for giving the team coin, because new servers, bandwidth, hosting, and their time is not reward enough?

Get over yourself. If anything, Rogean should put up a targetted bandwidth/hosting/hardware cost per month for everyone to see, and if the cost target is not hit, he shuts down until they are. Hows that for a reward?

Donation incentives are forthcoming, and those who have already donated will receive them as well. We are still deciding on what to award donations with, but rest assured we will not be awarding ingame items or game changing / advantage-giving rewards.

Thanks.

Looks like the idea for a reward was Rogeans to begin with, the thread is merely for bouncing ideas. Suggest a nice warm BJ dude. Relax

I understand completely, and the amount of "I wannas" around here just looking for freebies had nothing to do with it right?

Now that's possible. Probably the case, and Rogean feels that he doesn't wanna reply the way you did and lose such donations. And to be honest the more I think about it you are right. Just the delivery was harsh. :P

If he wants to proceed with a reward then forum titles and maybe in game fireworks or temporary things is all I'd suggest. Again thats more "work" in an already stacked pile. I say no rewards of any kind just because of the overhead. Unless we start getting some of the people who want rewards volunteering for being a forum moderator with limitations. Or offering to be a GUIDE in game and hand out fireworks and whatnot.

I have this crazy idea for donation rewards.

Check this:

We get to play the closest thing to classic EQ there is.

For me personally, yes, that'd be a good enough reward, and there may very well be enough people donating regularly based just off that to keep the server up and running just fine.

However, there are probably a lot of people that need some sort of extra incentive to donate, and something non-game-changing could provide that incentive. Never underestimate peoples need for a bigger e-peen. Finding something low-overhead like a forum title or upgraded sig permissions would be fairly easy I think, and could be done by any volunteer forum admin (maybe mod?).

Alternatively, if there are NOT enough people donating without extra incentive to keep the server running, they could always take the server down for a bit each time funds run low and watch donations roll in like they apparently did last week [You must be logged in to view images.

Yeah maybe Rogean should post some spreadsheets and whatnot. I know nobody likes to lay out that kind of info but some people just need to see the numbers, might make them say oh, maybe I should donate. I still have yet to myself but my wife keeps paying off old bills thinking it's a good thing towards trying to get a car loan. :P The 30th being payday I will send some.

Do any of you donate via credit card? Or paypal only? Credit card seems risky, not that I don't trust the guys but is it secure etc?
